Knee-deep in low-stakes Northern Coziness once more, back at it with ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL.

Shame that it doesn’t seem to be available in blu-ray AND the compression quality on the DVD (from the library) is absolute horse shit.

Hi, it’s me at the rare centre of the Venn diagram of “likes your grandma’s favourite tv show” and “has excellent eyesight.”

Am I the asshole?

Friend group is saying “install WhatsApp and be in our group chat!”
I don’t want to give Facebook Co my phone number and complete knowledge of my social circle.
OTOH, I already have Instagram installed on this phone, so I’m already in for a penny.
I think I also just missed out on knowing about a get together for lack of WhatsApp, but also: they all have my phone number.

Am I “Old Man Shakes Fist At Cloud,” or is there any sense in this?

I’m going to stop cleaning our house and if anyone complains I will say it is “environmental storytelling.”

Despite being middle aged, here’s a thing I have to think about every time I encounter it:

Noon is 12:00PM, not 12:00AM.

Why do AM and PM start an hour before the cycle loops? Noon should be 12AM. Midnight should be 12PM. Whose idea was this?

Book-Publishing Fun-Fact.

In 2012 I self-published a 30-page #comic, DELILAH DIRK AND THE SEEDS OF GOOD FORTUNE.

11 years later, in 2023, despite the default pay-what-you-want price being $0.00 and only being available in (DRM-free) PDF format from one obscure store, it made up 5% of my #book "royalties."

It's not the complete picture, but take from that what you will.

The shocker for me was that there are artists spending 8 hours to pencil a page and 7 to ink them. 😳😳😳

I would love to spend that much time on a page.

Follow-up:
I usually pencil 2 pages in 6-7 hours.
I usually ink 2 pages in 6-7 hours.

When you factor in roughs / thumbnails, I'm not sure how long pencilling actually takes, but I would be surprised if it bumped "pencilling" up past 6hours/page.
